From the Archive — Stranger Than Fiction

August 4, 2018August 2, 2018 Dan Seeger

On the occasion of Marc Forster ushering into theaters a new film that plays with the idea of famed fictional characters intermingling with the real world, I’ll rustle up my old review for this earlier effort with some superficial similarities. … Continue reading From the Archive — Stranger Than Fiction

From the Archive — Primeval and Bats

July 28, 2018July 27, 2018 Dan Seeger

Sometimes I wish I’d had a silly online outlet for tapping out my impressions of visual entertainment back in the days when my household regularly hosted small, snarky crowds for double features of cinematic misfortune. Sadly, I have no old … Continue reading From the Archive — Primeval and Bats

From the Archive — George Carlin arrested at Milwaukee’s Summerfest

July 21, 2018July 6, 2018 Dan Seeger

It’s been ten years since George Carlin died, depriving the world of one of our most combative, stealthily insightful voices. And it was forty-six years ago on the day I post this — or re-post it, really — reflection on … Continue reading From the Archive — George Carlin arrested at Milwaukee’s Summerfest

From the Archive — In the Valley of Elah

July 14, 2018 Dan Seeger

For many, Paul Haggis will forever be the person who directed the most egregious Best Picture Oscar-winner of the past twenty-five years. He’s not. That honor belongs to Ron Howard. I’ll over no further defense of Crash at this time … Continue reading From the Archive — In the Valley of Elah

From the Archive — The Orphanage

June 30, 2018 Dan Seeger

It appears director J.A. Bayona is on his way to a second straight week at the top of the box office. To a large degree, that’s attributable to being handed the keys to the right ongoing cinematic venture. I can’t … Continue reading From the Archive — The Orphanage

From the Archive — Big

June 23, 2018 Dan Seeger

Since I’ve been on a little bit of a thirty-years-ago kick lately, why not take unearth a movie review of a film released in June 1988. I wish I could report I wrote about Big when it hit theaters, but … Continue reading From the Archive — Big

From the Archive — WALL-E

June 16, 2018June 15, 2018 Dan Seeger

Although I’m optimistic about Incredibles 2, I long for the days that Pixar evinced nothing but the barest interest in sequels.

From the Archive — Eastern Promises

June 2, 2018June 1, 2018 Dan Seeger

This italicized portion usually contains some modern pontificating on the earlier writing presented in this weekly feature. In this instance, though, I have no annotations.
